About Laura

Laura Turba is a BACP counsellor who works in a person-centred way. She focuses on making therapy fit each person, moving at a pace that feels comfortable. Laura aims to help people work through difficult life experiences and to hold their concerns as they explore them.

She has three years of counselling experience in a range of agency settings. That work brought contact with many presenting issues across different backgrounds and ages. Laura reports using score-related assessments as part of her practice to track progress and inform conversations.

Her practice covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression, alongside trauma and abuse, self-harm and suicide prevention conversations. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy-related worries, grief, career strain and addictions. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

In sessions she aims to keep the client at the centre and to adapt methods to the individual. She describes working flexibly around family and work commitments and encourages people to raise worries about starting or maintaining therapy. That practical approach is intended to help therapy fit into everyday life.

Laura’s stated goal is to help people heal from difficult experiences by offering a steady presence and by working at a level the client is ready for.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean the counsellor listens closely and adjusts pace and topics to what feels right for the client. This can help when dealing with trauma, grief or ongoing life stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on the patterns of emotion and connection people bring to relationships. In an online setting it’s used to help identify and work through strong emotional responses and attachment concerns, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to meet when schedules are tight. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking to make sure the format fits everyday life and technology needs.
